Are you experiencing difficulty managing stress and anxiety related to a chronic illness? Do you find it difficult to get past traumatic episodes from your past? Do you have intrusive thoughts, difficulty sleeping, problems forming healthy relationships? Are you struggling with drinking too much or other substance abuse challenges, or BPD? If you, your child, or your family needs help, you can expect effective therapy focused on your needs. I have over twenty years of experience and success. You can achieve more while building a successful, and satisfying life. Contact me via phone, text, or email. I am looking forward to helping!
We will start building your coping skills from the first session! You can expect to get practical tools, tailored to your needs and goals. We will draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Family Systems Theory, Person Centered Therapy, Narrative/Talk therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).
I have special expertise working with children, adolescents and families. You can expect expert care in a warm and supportive atmosphere. We will work towards your goals and build on your strengths in a holistic approach that takes all or your needs and goals into account. Therapy will be engaging and solution-oriented. Reach out today.
